Sandro Tomasi Nov 23, 2013:
Sorry. I didn't see that you placed Panama in the field heading.

I would need more context to determine an accurate translation. Not sure what "sumaria" pertains to, whether it is the "instrucción" or the "investigación." If it's the former is it carried out by the "juez de instrucción" or the "Ministerio Público"? If it's the latter, is it carried out by the "agentes del Ministerio Público" or by "funcionarios de policía"? Or does the overall context contain or suggest something else?
Annie E (asker) Nov 22, 2013:
As indicated above - this is a ruling issued by the Supreme Court of the Republic of Panama. Not translating for any specific country.
Sandro Tomasi Nov 22, 2013:
What country is this from and are you translating for a specific country?

investigations underway

- rather than summary investigations under investigation.

BrE-type committal (for trial) proceedings against a Minister of Public Health: unlikely.

indictments under investigation

that's what the context suggests. I also found indictment as a translation for "sumaria" in one on Babylon's dictionaries.
sumaria (f)
n. indictment; summary
